[quote=Anonymous]OP- quartzite is very patterned and tends to be busy.  If you want to do marble backsplash, a solid color quartz would work better.

We have had honed, sealed marble for 6 years now.  It has zero staining.  If you look closely, you can find some etching but because it’s honed, it’s not very obvious.  Everyone tried talking me out of marble but I’m so glad that I listened to my friends who had it rather than all the naysayers (including DCUM).  I’d do marble again in a heartbeat.  Even if it were to stain, I’d prefer imperfect marble over the fake look of quartz or quartzite.

I have honed white quartz in my bathroom installed at the same time as my kitchen counters.  It has stains and looks worse than the marble.  The only reason I did quartz in the bathroom was bc I did marble floors and marble counters would have been too busy.  I’m so glad I didn’t listen to my contractor who tried talking me into doing quartz in the kitchen.  I have a friend with honed off-white Caesarstone quartz and she too complains about the staining of the quartz vs marble.[/quote]
